The theme for this month's Light & Reflections series is fairy tales. I decided to do a sentence building literacy activity for the light table to build off of J's hyperlexia and to encourage sentence formation with him, which is something he struggles with verbally.

Fairy Tale Literacy Light Table Activity for Kids

Often you find phrases like "Once upon a time" and "happily ever after" in fairy tales, so I picked four common fairy tale phrases for this activity. J has actually been saying "once upon a time" a lot lately, in an attempt to tell short stories verbally. They usually go something like this, "Once upon a time there was a box. The end." Most of the time, they don't even make sense, but he giggles incessantly. So this light table activity definitely played off of his current interests.
